The Downs Scarborough Maine — Condos and Townhomes
New Construction
Southern Maine's Most Active New Development
Built on the former Scarborough Downs harness racing site, The Downs is the most active new construction condo and townhome development in Southern Maine. The master-planned community includes multiple phases of condos, townhomes, and single-family homes — all minutes from Scarborough's beaches, the Maine Mall area, and Portland.
Current and upcoming communities within The Downs include Cross Street Condos, along with additional phases planned through 2027 and beyond. Buyers here get modern construction, energy-efficient design, and a walkable neighborhood setting that doesn't exist in Scarborough's older condo communities.
Buyers searching for Scarborough Downs condos for sale are drawn to new construction quality, walkable lifestyle, low-maintenance HOA-managed ownership, and proximity to Portland, I-95, the Jetport, and Southern Maine beaches. The Downs is a strong fit for buyers who want new construction near the coast without the premium of oceanfront pricing — and it's drawing interest from Portland-area professionals looking for more space within a 15-minute commute.
